Trump the "exterminator" chain email revisited. The "exterminator" wants immunity.

A viral rant that gives props to President Donald Trump and likens immigrants in the country illegally to raccoons repeatedly has appeared in various corners of the internet since early 2016.

But in its most recent iteration, the writing has found popularity by wrongly attributing it to the comedian and radio and TV host Steve Harvey.

Titled “HOW I FEEL ABOUT TRUMP,” the piece describes a scenario in which a basement is full of “hundreds” of raccoons — a problem that that no exterminator “can handle.” But, it says, “one guy … guarantees to get rid of them.” It suggests that other potential shortcomings don’t matter — whether he “smells” or “swears,” or “if he’s an alcoholic,” or “how many times he’s been married.”

“Yes, he’s a bit of a jerk; Yes, he’s an egomaniac; but we don’t care!” it says of Trump. “The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republicans and Democrats can be two-faced and gutless, and illegals are everywhere.. We want it all fixed!”

"I'll get rid of those raccoons for ya! But first, can you be sure to not look at my qualifications or credentials! Don't look at my past. Here, sign this... uh... standard NDA with an indemnity clause, oh and can you give me... IMMUNITY?!"

That doesn't sound like someone who is going to get rid of raccoons, that sounds like someone who is going to make some human-raccoon hybrids in the basement!
